Sources: 7. Developments: 2. The government of Hidalgo announced a 20 percent increase in public transport tariffs, to be implemented in five phases across 84 municipalities. The initial phase focuses on Pachuca de Soto and Mineral de la Reforma, raising the base fare (banderazo) from 38 to 45 pesos and the cost per additional kilometer from 3 to 4 pesos. The state also plans to introduce taximeters and stricter regulations for drivers, including mandatory maintenance and training. Following the implementation, Governor Julio Menchaca Salazar warned that operators failing to comply with the new rates would face sanctions, including the potential revocation of concessions. While the government is increasing enforcement of insurance and regulatory requirements, some taxi operators in Pachuca have requested further increases to a minimum of 50 pesos, arguing that the current rate does not adequately cover maintenance or time lost to traffic congestion. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-26: Pachuca taxi fares increased to 45 pesos amid operator requests for more Hidalgo authorities have set a new minimum taxi fare of 45 pesos in Pachuca, though some operators are requesting further increases to cover rising operational and traffic-related costs. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/pachuca-taxi-fares-increased-to-45-pesos-amid-operator-requests-for-more ### 2026-09-21: Hidalgo announces 20% increase in taxi tariffs Hidalgo will implement a 20% increase in taxi tariffs across 84 municipalities in five phases, starting with Pachuca and Mineral de la Reforma, alongside stricter driver and vehicle requirements. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hidalgo-announces-20-increase-in-taxi-tariffs --- Cite as: Hidalgo public transport tariff adjustments.
